The first novelMoreWhen a special OSS unit is dropped in occupied Europe to disrupt the German war effort, their first mission is jeopardized when a spy within the Resistance will stop at nothing to bring their operation to an immediate and final end. The first novel in a series full of action, adventure, and camaraderie, E. M. Owsiany explores the bonds that are formed by men when they are thrown together in a time of war. Major James Stanton is handpicked to choose a small team of men whose job is simple: parachute into occupied Europe and complete dangerous missions that hinder the German war effort. After picking his team and training with them in the US, they all ship off to England to await their first mission. But Stanton has become attached to his men, something he vowed would never happen, and is about to push himself to the limits to protect them. Galvanized by Stantons charismatic leadership, the men drop into occupied France a tight-knit, well-oiled machine. It is their mission to destroy a German tank production facility- however, they discover there is a spy within the Resistance who will stop at nothing to destroy their team and its operation. And as their mission becomes more dangerous, they begin to suspect that there is much more to Major Stanton than they know and that his past may be the undoing of them all. A story of loyalty, courage, and trust among soldiers, Owsianys novel is as sweeping as it is intimate, exploring men who must learn to depend on each other implicitly as friends and comrades as war tears their lives-and world-apart. Filled with visceral intensity and a masterful felicity for time and place, the tension builds to extraordinary levels as his men are forced to come to terms with their humanism as their mission teeters on the brink. A book of uncommon depth and suspense, The Majors War: Worth Fighting For is an unflinching look at the lives of the men who fought in WWII and the price they paid for their country-and each other.
